Adding a Relational Database Directory Entry Alias for BRMS.
Resolving The Problem
The following includes instructions on how to properly add a Relational database Directory Entry Alias for BRMS:
1. On a command line, issue the following command:
DSPNETA
What is listed in the Default local location? This is what BRMS uses.
Note: It is recommended the Default local location name match the System name. If not, also ensure you can PING the Default local location name.
2. Issue the following command:
WRKRDBDIRE *ALL
What Entry is associated with Remote Location *LOCAL? Is it the same as the Default local location? If not, then an alias will need to be added.
Example
Relational Database Directory Entry for Remote Location *LOCAL = S1234567
Default local location = SYSA
Because they are different, an alias is required.
Issue the following command on SYSA to add an alias:
ADDRDBDIRE RDB(S1234567 SYSA) RMTLOCNAME(SYSA *IP)
Or you can use the following which should have the same effect.
ADDRDBDIRE RDB(S1234567 SYSA) RMTLOCNAME(*LOOPBACK)
All the other systems in the BRMS network group only need to add a standard Relational Database Directory Entry without an alias to point back to SYSA.
